There are no friends in Mario Kart, only those I have yet to betray.

Treat the rest as a dedicated, specifically-timed “thing to do” instead of just “time I need to kill until I pick this weight up again.”

Timers are helpful, as people mentioned, but stretching, evaluating how that last set went/ how next set needs to go, changing weights, and walking around to catch your breath are great ways to stay mostly on track.

And if you check Twitter after switching songs or something? That’s fine. Working out slowly > not working out, so unless you’re annoying other gymgoers with 20-min squat-rack scroll sessions , I wouldn’t sweat a mental lapse.

EDIT: Ope, I think I misread your comment to mean “between sets” and not just “going to the gym,” my b.

It HAS to be a habit. Go to the gym because it’s novel and you want to try it out, then try your damnedest to make it a routine. Make it feel weird to not work out. If you fall off the wagon, try again.

If neurotypicals fail to be consistent (see every New Year’s resolution), you can give yourself enough grace to stumble, too.

It’s common in states that have a lower population center, geographically. I’m in Minnesota, and our Twin Cities are in the southern third of the state.

“Going up north (to the cabin)” is our spin on “upstate”, because (for most people) there isn’t much of a reason to go much more north than we already do.

This isn’t a one-hour-summary topic, and you’re not going to find “unbiased” reporting on it. Not trying to be a dick, it’s just the facts. Anyone telling you they have the “unbiased truth” about it is lying or delusional.

With that said, start with some Wikipedia browsing from the end of WW2, where the Allies started looking around for places around the world as Jewish refuges, and the struggles/ decisions made to plop Israel in the Middle East.

From there, there’s a bunch of back-and forth action between the new state of Israel and the people who were already living there (Palestinians), which has a lot of video summaries on YouTube. You’ll hear “Nakba” (Catastrophe in Arabic) used a lot, if that’s any indication of how it went.

All of that puts the Oct 7 attacks in more context, as well as the ongoing bombing in Gaza.

Good luck in your search. If people are being rude with you, it’s because the tone of your post is basically “I actively tried not to look at this conflict that’s been going on for 4 months that’s killed 30,000 people, and now care because of a single guy (Aaron Bushnell) immolating himself.” I’m VERY glad that his message got to you, as I agree that it’s an important issue, but it also feels frustrating that it took this long (respectfully).

Similar experience for my xm4s. Great sound, they’re comfy, but the app is dogshit and the buttons/ touch controls physically hurt me to use.

2001 + 19 = 2020. Typos can be overcome using context clues.

Gonna wait for performance info at launch, and grab if it runs well. There’s basically no point waiting for professional reviews, since it’s such a love-it-or-hate-it gameplay loop. I really liked the first one (doing a replay now), so unless it comes to light that it’s now a MG:Survive clone or something, I should be alright 🤷

Lots of tech companies saw huge growth during covid thanks to everyone having extra money to spend (see crypto and NFTs if you want clear examples that we just had too much laying around).

Many of these companies then saw their revenue and userbase increase month-after-month and thought the growth was going to continue forever (or, more cynically, they knew it was going to crash but acted like it was going to continue). This led to a bunch of hires to “drive growth.”

But obviously, pandemic spending habits have mostly stopped, and the money faucet is being turned off. Companies can’t afford all the workers they hired, so they’re “let go due to market downturns.”

TL;DR Companies either thought they were going to have unrealistic growth and made dumb hiring decisions, or knew the growth was going to end and thus made cruel hiring decisions.
